Come In Tokyo

About Me



"Come in Tokyo are a straight-up rock and roll two piece...battering out punky, catchy little roosty, bluesy numbers short on time, big on impact." BBC Radio Ulster
"...great support band Come in Tokyo - a White Stripes-esque duo from Edinburgh with a collection of meaty instrumentals & catchy indie pop tracks." eGigs.co.uk
"The noise emanating from the stage sounded like it was created by way more than two people...Come in Tokyo produce fantastically poppy indie pogo rock...Hopefully the next time these guys visit our shores they will be the headline act!" NoClarity.co.uk
“Edinburgh’s Come in Tokyo made an endearingly sardonic racket when recently touring with…The Aliens. ‘Only Valentines’ could be a Mark E Smith love note… ‘Wake Me Up’ merits positive comparison to 1970s solo Iggy, while ‘I Won’t Want You’ is as good as Sons & Daughters on top form.” Treblezine.com
